This, in effect, would tumble the row of island defenses consisting of Japan, Formosa and the Philippines. To the south, it then threatened Australia and New Zealand. So, said the President, the possible consequences of the loss were just incalculable to the free world...
Last week Sultan Omar offered to lend the Malay Federation government a sum of about $14 million, as a gesture of friendship to a country which, he said, was "fighting our war against Communism as well as theirs."

He had done most of his entertaining there, pursued his hobby of ornithology, housed there his collection of objets d'art (Malay silver and Chinese porcelain) and his rare Asian library.

Scot MacDonald, a stubborn man, went swimming in the rivers of Borneo instead, and went on living at Bukit Serene. Last week, however, all appeals to the Sultan's better nature having...
